Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
ShangLuda Admirable film.
SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
imavegan2 This movie is worth 7 as a movie, and I'm giving it an extra 1 just for Tyler Ross.I don't know how other people perceive this movie, but to me it's a movie about a real friendship, a friendship just like a real love doesn't know age, race etc limits.And also this movie is about not giving up and pursuing your dreams at any age.As I said I was giving an extra 1 point just for Tyler Ross, he is a good actor and played very well in this movie.That's it, there is not much to say about this film, dialogues are good except for 1 or 2, and this movie could have been a lot better with the right music choice.
chamberlain2007 While not a comedy, this movie is a prime example of a relationship in which neither person is doing the other a favour. That is, I expected a movie where a cute guy is nice to an old lady and is an obvious tear jerker. In reality, I got a movie which was expressive, fulfilling, and not at all expected. I didn't feel sorry for either character. I empathized, and boy did it hurt. It was a tear jerker, but in it's genuineness. Honestly one of the best films I've seen in quite some time.I strongly recommend watching this film, but prepare yourself. Or rather, leave your preconceived notions at the door. Don't expect a witty comedy. Don't expect a chick flick. This film is raw, fresh and smart, but definitely not a blockbuster. And I wouldn't want it to be.
darkeyes9090 I enjoyed this little film more than most everything else I have seen this year. The direction, camera work, casting, writing are all well done. The chemistry between the actors is evocative. The story, as one reviewer said, could use another 20 minutes filling out the female lead's actions. But, at the same time, one of the great qualities of this film is the actor's ability to inform us through their presentation of characters. So many films and TV series depend on long laborious telling of a character's backstory to let us know who they are. With this film's level of writing and the actor's ability to present their characters, they fill in much of that for you without it needing to be spelled out for you.What I liked most, was just watching a story that was interesting, touching and well presented, avoiding the two dimensional predictability of so much of what is being churned out of a production line industry.
thepinkrabbit Although this movie is the first from Adloff and Palmer, it's quite well done. But to tell the truth the actor Tyler Ross is the reason I watched this movie. As a matter of fact he looks a lot like the ex porn star now doing regular movies Sean Paul Lockhart (Brent Corrigan)specially in " Judas kiss" which is too a low budget, 1st movie. Fact is women's note for this movie is 8.5 whereas males give it a 4.5 . Likely reason : the real cute Tyler. His character is the perfect boyfriend, kind, clever, stable guy. Margaret is to my taste too shallow. Adding 20 minutes to the movies to give more details about the life of this women could have created more empathy. I give this movie a good 5 which is a good mark. Some informations are missing in the storyline towards the end. I really think 20 minutes more would have solved theses little problems.
